Having problems with your Digital Cameras ?

I have put the battery the wrong way round in my canon ixus 75 & now i cannot remove the slide cover to the battery & memory card.
regards richard

Answers :

On the slide cover is a rubber flap which can be removed to reveal a hole showing the bottom of the battery,if you press a ballpoint pen directly onto the battery base this lessens the pressure just enough to release the slide lock mechanism.Hey Presto your'e back into the camera.\015\012 Regards Richard

I've just bought a new DSLR Olympus camera and fully charged the battery. The camera switches on when there is no memory card inserted but as soon as I insert a memory card the camera won't switch on. If I remove the card and try to switch the camera on it still won't turn on, I have to remove the battery, put it back in then switch on the camera. Any ideas what's wrong?

My camera turns on by itself even with the slide in front in the closed position. The screen then shows the warning that the lens cover is closed.
When I open and reclose the lens cover in 10 or so seconds the camera turns itself back on and repeats with the lens cover closed warning.
The only way for me to turn the camera off at this point is to remove the battery. Help!

Most likely some dirt, dust, or other particle is jamming the lens opening gears. You can try to spray some compressed air into the lens assembly, hopefully dislodging whatever is obstructing the lens cover. If this doesn't work, the camera wil ...

Okay the FEE is telling me that you haven't locked your lens in at F22. Lock the lens should be an aperture ring turn it to the smallest aperture and there is a little lock on the side of the lens that will hold it in that position. The camera then l ...
